What You Get After Resurfacing
Your pool becomes the centerpiece of your backyard again. No more rough surfaces that snag swimsuits or create uncomfortable swimming. The water stays balanced longer because the new surface doesn’t constantly leach chemicals or harbor algae in microscopic cracks. You’ll use fewer chemicals and spend less time fighting water chemistry issues. Most importantly, you stop worrying about structural damage getting worse. A properly resurfaced pool protects your investment for the next 10-15 years, giving you peace of mind and a swimming environment you’re proud to show guests.

How Pool Resurfacing Actually Works
First, the existing surface gets removed completely. This means draining your pool and using specialized equipment to strip away the old plaster or aggregate down to the shell. Next comes surface preparation and any necessary structural repairs. Cracks get properly sealed, and the underlying surface gets prepped for optimal adhesion of the new finish. The new surface application happens in controlled conditions. Whether you choose traditional plaster, aggregate, or specialty finishes, the material gets applied evenly and cured properly. Most resurfacing projects take 7-10 days from start to finish, including cure time before refilling.

What's Included in Resurfacing
Complete surface removal and disposal of old materials. Structural inspection and repair of any cracks or damage found during prep work. Surface preparation including acid washing and bonding agent application. Professional application of your chosen finish material, whether standard white plaster, colored plaster, or premium aggregate finishes. In The Vineyards’ climate, proper curing is critical. Florida’s heat and humidity require specific timing and techniques to ensure your new surface bonds correctly and lasts. The process includes controlled water chemistry during startup and detailed instructions for long-term care.

Look for rough patches that catch on swimsuits or feel uncomfortable underfoot. Visible cracks, especially ones that seem to be growing, are another clear sign. Staining that won’t come out with normal cleaning usually means the surface is porous and breaking down. If you’re constantly fighting algae or having trouble keeping water balanced, the surface might be harboring contaminants. Most pool surfaces last 10-15 years depending on maintenance and water chemistry. If your pool is approaching that age and showing any of these signs, it’s time for professional evaluation.
Standard white plaster is the most economical but typically lasts 7-10 years in Florida’s climate. It’s smooth and classic but can stain more easily. Aggregate finishes like pebble or quartz last longer—often 15-20 years—and resist staining better. They cost more upfront but provide better value over time in Florida’s sun and heat. Colored plasters offer a middle ground with more aesthetic options than white but similar longevity. The key is proper installation and startup procedures, which matter more than the specific material in determining how long your finish lasts.
Most resurfacing projects take 7-10 days from start to swimming. This includes draining, surface removal, prep work, application, and proper curing time. Weather can affect the timeline, especially humidity and rain. Florida’s climate requires careful timing for application and curing to ensure proper bonding. You’ll need to wait about 28 days for full cure before using automatic cleaners or allowing rough play. During this time, gentle brushing and careful water chemistry management are essential for long-term durability.
Standard plaster resurfacing typically ranges from $4,000-$7,000 for average-sized pools, depending on prep work needed and access challenges. Aggregate finishes cost more—usually $6,000-$12,000—but last significantly longer and resist staining better in Florida’s environment. The investment often pays off through reduced maintenance and longer service life. Additional costs can include structural repairs found during prep, tile replacement, or equipment updates. Reputable contractors provide detailed estimates after inspection so you know exactly what you’re paying for before work begins.
No, you’ll need to wait for proper curing. New plaster surfaces require about 28 days to fully cure and harden, though you can swim gently after about a week. The first few weeks are critical for long-term durability. Water chemistry must be carefully managed, and aggressive brushing or automatic cleaners should be avoided until full cure. During startup, daily brushing and specific chemical balancing help ensure the surface cures properly. Rushing this process can lead to surface problems and shortened lifespan, so patience during these first weeks protects your investment.
Most pool resurfacing doesn’t require permits since you’re not changing the pool structure or adding new equipment. However, local regulations can vary. If structural repairs are needed during the process, permits might be required depending on the extent of work. We know local requirements and handle any necessary paperwork. In The Vineyards, HOA approval might be needed for certain finish types or colors. As experienced local pool professionals, we understand community guidelines and can help navigate any approval processes before starting work.
